Chapter 136: Chapter 132: Seeing Caesar Again

Heg’s face turned an iron blue as he paid the hefty bill. Looking at the profiles of these people, they were all from the most powerful families in the Red Nation. Originally, he thought Louis and the others were loaded with money, so the Black Guard had thoughtfully chosen the most expensive restaurant in the Imperial City for them. Now, after covering this bill, Heg was almost bankrupt, half of his fortune nearly drained.

Looking at Heg’s resentful face, Lu Hong somewhat embarrassedly coughed a few times and patted Heg on the shoulder, "Lord Heg, rest assured, I’ll repay this money."

"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Tu. My salary is meager as it is; I implore you to return the money as soon as possible, as soon as possible." Heg clasped his hands in gratitude, accepting Lu Hong’s apology as his expression softened slightly.

Luo Bolun spoke up, "Tu Kurou, I ask you, you said you wanted to help, are you going to help the Gold Family?"

"No," Lu Hong shook his head, "I’m going to attack the Gold Family."

"Attack? What the hell are you thinking? Yuanyang, as the Gold Family’s main domain, has been carefully managed for many years and is stronger than any clan in the wasteland. Just with a few of us?" Before Lu Hong could explain, Luo Bolun continued, "I know you’re going to help someone, but the few of us won’t be of much use."

Lu Hong did not refute Luo Bolun’s skepticism. Indeed, with 97 of the 100 recruitment spots still open, bringing a group of stronger personnel into Yuanyang would indeed provide the most substantial help to Nono.

"By the way, Louis, can you bring your mercenary group with us?" Lu Hong suddenly thought of the Battle Scars Mercenary Group. After all, Louis was a deputy commander; it shouldn’t be too troublesome to pick out a hundred or so strong members from his own group, right?

In response to Lu Hong’s hopes, Louis shook his head apologetically, "The mercenary group cannot be used for private purposes unless you can pay the price and operate in the form of employment."

"As for money, well, it’s not a problem." Lu Hong thought of Caesar. That old man’s treasury had more money than he knew what to do with, of course, convincing him to cough up the cash was another matter. Given his money-grubbing attitude back at the hotel, perhaps stealing was the best plan after all.

"Let’s head back to Adventurer Town first, see if I can scrape some money together."

Upon hearing the issue with money, Heg quickly moved closer to Lu Hong and whispered, "Uh, can you repay me first after you’ve gathered the money?"

"Sure, sure, sure."

Although Adventurer Town was a far cry from the imperial capital, with Heg around, that wasn’t a problem.

The Black Guard was a secret force established by Konstantin that could reach any location in the Sacred Empire faster than anyone else, even stronger than any Third Transition experts. Of course, this excludes Vili, the old man who had mastered space spells to perfection.

Using the Black Guard’s comprehensive network of transport channels spread throughout the country, Lu Hong and his companions rapidly arrived outside Tuzhui City.

Looking at Tuzhui City, which he had fled from years ago, Lu Hong thought if not for Lock Fan summoning his father, he would’ve been buried here long ago.

"Let’s go." Now in his element, Louis naturally took up the role of guide, and in less than two days, he led the group back to the town of yesteryears.

"The Big Sister is back!"

"The Big Sister is back!"

Facing Louis’s return, the members of the Battle Scars Mercenary Group were thrilled.

"Yes, I’m back." Louis, having been away for a long time, naturally had many matters to attend to. She brought Luo Bolun back to the Battle Scars headquarters with her to select members who could participate in the Yuanyang plane war and wait to sign the mercenary contract with Lu Hong.

As for Lu Hong, he led Heg and Qi Rong as they pushed open the doors of the Caesar Hotel.

"Old Tu, I’m back."

"What’s with the noise!" Old Tu crawled out from under the counter, his face sleepy and clearly having been napping.

Once he saw who it was, Caesar smiled and said, "Aiyo, didn’t expect you to come back, lad. I heard the wasteland has been quite restless lately." He then went into the kitchen and brought out a bowl of milky-white soup.

"I’ve just concocted a new delicacy, I’ve named it Angel Soup, have a taste first."

Caesar served two bowls first, eagerly offering them to Qi Rong and Heg, "Here, drink it while it’s hot. It’s not good when it cools off."

"Uh,,,," Qi Rong sniffed it but couldn’t detect any scent.

Heg, less concerned, was not guarded against this enthusiastic country elder, "Thank you, old man."

Qi Rong, looking at the Angel Soup in front of him, felt a bit uneasy. Familiar with alchemy, he instinctively feared this bowl of soup.

"Drink up, it’s not poisoned. I know this old man well."

After receiving affirmation from Lu Hong, Heg and Qi Rong took a tentative sip.

Thud! Heg and Qi Rong instantly collapsed to the ground - it was the familiar recipe, after all.

Faced with the unconscious duo, Lu Hong wasn’t surprised at all. Instead, he praised, "Lord Caesar, long time no see, your skills have improved, haven’t they? Your dark cuisine has now evolved to be tasteless, a veritable invisible killer."

"Who says the soup is tasteless?" Caesar raised his eyebrow and pulled out a piece of Purple Fierce Grass, handing it to Lu Hong, "Smell it."

Lu Hong knew Purple Fierce Grass, just a common herb often used in making recovery potions, naturally emitting a strong, pungent odor. Why on earth was Caesar giving this to him all of a sudden?

Confused, Lu Hong did as told and sniffed it. To his surprise, he couldn’t detect any smell.

About the odorless Purple Fierce Grass, Lu Hong guessed immediately, "A new variety of Purple Fierce Grass? Was that what you used for the soup?"
